Is Feminism in the Media Dying? Words From the Publisher

I can remember dabbling on MS Publisher 97 around '98/99 at break time and saying to myself, "One day."  Then when I got a desktop publishing program that wasn't as expensive as PageMaker (yeah, I'm THAT old) but still took its sweet time loading, I was still convinced that my ideas would be right alongside HUES and other similar publications.  Well, it's a few yrs later and like a lot a publishing houses, its a struggle to stay afloat - in print.

Even online, it can be challenge to make some profound statement about womanhood when the 'net is flooded with heroes gone astray such as Gloria Allred, who is representing one of Tiger Woods mistresses for the name of $.  I tried to ignore the whole thing, even his stoic apology speech this past Friday.  Then when side booty # whatever demanded an apology, I was through. 

I could tolerate decent looking women with no skills pawing over and chain-kissing some rock/rap dude from the 80s.  Palin seems cartoony at times and now we've got some non-white, female rapper with more plastic parts than Angelyne, calling herself a "barbie" (the acronym is too long and plus she's a damn Lil Wayne protegee) so I'll leave that where it is.

Anyhoo, hope you're enjoying Miss Fitts, she's coming up in a little bit.
